Yeyy

So, what should the setting be?

Maybe in a forest, possibly a bit off trail?

Alright I'll start on a new comment :)

All good, I can adapt no worries

*he stops for a moment. his ears perking up as he looks down, trying to get a sense for what or who made that noise. He crawls down the tree a bit*

(me when I say "looks down" for my blindfolded character, lmao))

*his ears flick and follow the figure, his fur sticks up a bit with a mixture of feathers. He faces it to keep track.* "My bad."

*he tightrope walks across the branch he's on with a little bounce in his step to shake some leaves off it, then hops down onto another branch near the figure* "Well, I didn't expect someone to be out here,"

*he hopped to another branch above her and crawled closer hanging upsidedown as he did, but still managing to face her, displaying unnerving levels of flexibility*

*he hangs upsidedown with his legs and takes hold the paper, pretending to look at it intensely* "...I don't get it" *he holds it out for her to take back*

*he gives a ¿¿ ||3 look, as he is wearing a blindfold. Basically looking at her like a clueless dog despite being a tiger bird creature*

"...why are you looking for them?" *He says while dangling his arms, still hanging*

"I'm good at tracking if you have something of his on you, not too much of a help with many clues that involve sight though." *He pulls himself up the branch and lies down on it*

(All good))

*he sniffs* "...that is definitely something of his...carrying that as something you have is an interesting choice- but, I do get a hint of him elsewhere, he came near this area, but not too close."

"I will do what I can, follow me." *he drops from the tree, landing on his feet like a true cat*

(if I dissapear then it's cause sleepy))

"I'm Iroh, nice ta meet cha" *hes walking in the direction of the sent, but hopping on fallen logs to rocks*

*he continues walking around to track the guy, mostly keeping them going in the same direction* "soo- this guy is a pretty bad guy huh?"

*he has a pause in his movement for a split second once she says that, then he continues walking* "that type of person...It's not a good experience taking that kind down you know."

*they continue walking as the sent gets stronger, the man having been there more recently, and there are likely visible tracks*

*he sniffs* "it's pretty strong all around here, he's probably been around here recently," *He feels around the tree for any more clues*

"no clue, I'm more of a punch it type."

*absolutely punches the tree*

*witnesses* "...cool"

*he follows in after her, using the metal bars to climb on the side of the wall to avoid triggering any traps just in case*

*iroh nods and goes around looking for cages that aren't empty*

*his ears go back at the noises as he does have sensitive hearing* *He starts to look for more clues to find the man*

*iroh snaps the spike that caught yumins arm so she won't have to stay stuck, then holds her arm tight so it doesn't loose too much blood*

*he hesitantly lets go*

:0 "That's pretty handy. I can heal fast, but that's a different speed."

"...cursed?" *iroh catches a few while they fly, some brushing off the areas where he has scales*

"..sounds more like a blessing don't you think?"

"oh... I wouldn't know much about that. I just come back as a plant from my knowledge... And sight is a bit much for me to handle so I don't use it... I would say my age, but I don't know how to count... I think my mother is a cactus." *Genuinely trying but he is dumb and cat unu*

*he gets a bit more protective now that he knows she feels the pain worse, trying to sense a few traps beforehand while they continue. He grabs a large plank of wood and hands it to her for a shield, giving her a thumbs up after*

*iroh goes on all fours, making himself a harder target. Clinging to the ceiling and walls while he helps close the distance*

*iroh got up and pulled her out of the way immediately after as more arrows launched at the both of them, carrying her while on the ceiling*

*who's he to judge?, he gives a teethy grin as he swings her at him, putting alot of force behind it, slightly transforming his arm for a moment during launch*

*iroh runs and launches himself down from the ceiling, claws out, grabbing the back of the man's head and slamming it into the ground*

*iroh grabs it on the far end of the rod and jokingly bonks the mans face with the end of it, then sweeps his feet*

*iroh tries to hold his ground and grab him to re-direct him at a wall*

*iroh quickly gives a nod, then runs back, stomping on the crossbows just in case* "will that grow back?"

*iroh head-butts him as he's launched to him, then gut-punches and then knees the man in the face before kicking him straight forward back to her*

*iroh watches, then walks to grab her arm on the floor*

"...I assume this is not useful anymore?"

"...huh" *poles dead dude* "you wouldn't eat him would you?"

"...cause I would" *he sits down*

"woh-" *iroh quickly leans to her and catches her back of her head with his paw/hand* "...fresh air may sound better right now."

*he picks her up and takes her out of the tree entrance so it's easier to breath, not just for her but for himself as well, he lays her down in a soft bed of grass, then rolls around in some himself*

*he finishes enjoying the grass and checks on her again, slightly using his eyes to check on her. He then ties her scarf around her arm, not knowing much about medical anything, he picks her up again to go find water*

*his fur poofs up ghibili style as he continues carrying her, eventually finding water. He stands there looking at her, then the ground, then her, thinking of if he should put her down or not*

*he decides to continue holding her, he finds a comfy spot and curls up with her like a cat, turning into a more tiger like form*

*iroh licks his snout and yawns, stretching his front paws a bit*

*his ears perk up at the sound, he then cat stretches before walking closer*

*he shrinks back down to his more humanoid form, still fluffy tho* "fish."

"anything is better for me raw." *He easily monches the fish, then gently picks her up off his lap, puts her down and goes over to the water for a swim*

*iroh pops out of the water in his big cat form with a few bigger fish in his mouth. He walks out and shakes off like a dog*

*he drops the big floppy fish and eats one before turning back humanoid once more, he shakes again and poofs up a bit before holding one out to her*

*iroh noms his with his claws holding it in place as it still wiggles a bit*

*iroh brushes himself off to dry more, his clothes still wet but he doesn't mind* "I don't know, I just live here. You seemed to have your mission."

*he rolls around in grass upon the sight of it again* "when I do go to cities I tend to just go for the fight clubs and tavern brawls. Usually I'm just here, its not where I'm from, but nature is nature." *Still rolling in the grass*

"are you sure you can with one hand, I figure it takes getting used to"

*fluff is much more soft cause it is somewhat washed now* "...oh, that is fast.."

"I do have a usual sparring partner, but he's the boss of the place so he doesn't enter competitions most of the time."

"his name is Susan, he's about this big" *he makes his hand at least a foot above his head* "I took him down when we first met and we've been friends since"

*he turns into big fluffy cat and lowers his head to her*

*he lifts her up and runs them to the city*

*they make it to a rough part of town and he shrinks back down, tightening his blindfold*

*he walks into an alley, knocks on a door, and the peek box opens. The man only needs a glance at iroh and he opens the door* Iroh walks in, "Susan should be around here somewhere, usually he's the ref" *The inside of the place is like that of a tavern, but with many training areas and one main cage*

*Susan welcomes her into the cage with a hefty handshake,* *iroh walks over to the cage as well, not entering cause he wouldn't want to fight her. Despite that, some in the crowd are chanting his name* *Susan seems to be in the cage, calling for more contestants, his interest piqued since his friend is right outside the cage* "iroh, come on in," *he yanks iroh in before he can say anything* "This is a no weapons free for all, it was going to be an easy play, but now that your here it seems I have no choice but to join." *He says as he slaps iroh on the back*

*Susan looks down at her with a strong pat on the back*, "I am never to say no to a proper fight am I? But I am aware iroh managed to take me down times before however, so if you both don't, then I'll have to suspect you're holding back"

*Susan looks at her like she's crazy* "..well, if you think you can, then I can't refuse." *Iroh nods* "we never say no to a fight, so if this is what you want then we can go."

*the bell rings and Susan rushes up to kick her on the floor, while iroh goes invisible*

*iroh pushes back then keeps contact with her by grabbing her leg and pulling it up from under her. He throws her to Susan and Susan stomps her from in the air, slamming her down then kicking her to the side of the cage when she bounced back up. Iroh then swings a kick at her by launching off the top of the cage*

*iroh uses the dust of the destroyed ground to go invisible again while Susan springs back up. Susan fakes a left hook and punches her in the gut with enough force to send her flying. Iroh then reappears and catches her, suplexing her to the ground, while on the ground he grabs her arm wrapping and uses it to send her flying back at Susan, as Susan meets her with another punch.*

*Susan talks while blocking his face* "are you sure you don't want to look at that arm?" *He gives a hearty jab on the ribs on the side where her arm is broken, knowing she can't defend so well there* *Iroh uses the opportunity to sneak a kick the back of her knees to knock her off balance, then kicking her up as she falls, allowing Susan to slam her down with both hands* *Iroh kicks her to the side as she bounces back up to distance her and Susan*

*iroh becomes visible again, standing normally as Susan stretches* "Sorry little friends, good match." *Susan says as he opens the cage and jogs out to go help* *Iroh adjusts his arm wraps*

"yeah" *he hops out the cage, and dusts himself off*

"nope, no clue, I only know the Alley cats gang and Susan" *he grabs a piece of bread from a table and puts it in his mouth while they walk*

*iroh walks over and crawls under the rubble, then turns into his big tiger form to launch the rubble off*

*Susan being a unit and lifting lots of other rubble* "of course" *he finishes pushing some rubble off of one person and jogs over*

*Susan looks at it then at her* "how do I help here friend?"

*he hooks it to the ground*

*Susan simply starts lifting with the assistance of the lance as she thinks*

*iroh runs over and pushes the woman out from under the rubble, then pulls yumin from holding the rubble* "I think that's everyone"

*Susan taking no offense while iroh scuddles around double checking the rubble for any other people*

"of course but don't waste it" *Susan says as he wipes off a bit of the scratch. It wasnt as bad as it looks, his reflexes must be other worldy for a human.* *Iroh was looking around and cartoonishly crawling under the rubble, the weight of it not effecting him much as he pops out of it all dusty* "that's all of them," *dusty cough*
